Part 3
Final stretch: reducing build costs, nudging rates via spreads, and what happens if the GSEs exit conservatorship.
8ļøā£ šŖµ Construction Cost LeversāTariff Relief on Materials
Treasury has floated tariff exclusions for steel, aluminum, copper, and possibly lumber.
Lower input costs could nudge projects into feasibility and expand supply.
9ļøā£ š Narrowing Mortgage SpreadsāWhat a 40 bp Drop Looks Like
As of Sept 4, 2025, Freddie Mac PMMS 30-year fixed rate = 6.50%.
A 40 bps drop ā ~6.10%.
Even 25ā40 bps often flips borrowers from ineligible to eligible.
Why: Shrinking the MBSāTreasury spread can unlock thousands of approvalsāwithout the Fed cutting the Fed Funds rate.

š š¦ Fannie Mae & Freddie MacāExit Conservatorship Without Raising Rates?
Plan: Release the GSEs with capital + IPO.
Pro argument: Liquidity + credit expansion; possible sovereign wealth fund seed.
Skeptic view: Rates could rise 25ā90 bps without explicit backstop.
Counter-argument: Urban Institute & AEI say rates are unlikely to rise significantly if capital is adequate and implicit/explicit backing remains; investor confidence hinges on clarity, not conservatorship status.
